Splatoon Raiders Added To Nintendo Music As A ‘Special Release’
Nintendo has added nine tracks from the new Switch 2 spin-off Splatoon Raiders to its Nintendo Music app, released as a "special release" to coincide with the game's launch. The selection offers players a taste of the game's soundtrack, continuing the series' reputation for upbeat, funky music, and comes shortly after Nintendo Life awarded Splatoon Raiders a 9/10 review, calling it the best single-player entry in the Splatoon series to date.
The nine tracks include "Anarchy Castaway" by Deep Cut, "Happy Hideout v2" and "Cartograffiti v2" by The Mechanic, "Initiation of the Coastonids", "HubBubble" by DJ Spinsalt, "Denergy" by purines, "Escarpment Torment" by DHA, "Claustral" by The Maverick, and "Avian Ascension" by Deep Cut. It remains unclear whether the rest of the game's soundtrack will follow, with some fans noting that full OST releases for other titles, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, have taken up to a year to complete.
In short
- Nintendo Music adds nine Splatoon Raiders tracks as a special release
- Coincides with the Switch 2 spin-off's launch, which scored 9/10
- Full soundtrack release timeline on the app remains unconfirmed
Explained simply
Splatoon Raiders is a new spin-off game in the Splatoon series, released for Nintendo's Switch 2 console. The Splatoon series is famous for its colourful, energetic gameplay and distinctive soundtrack that combines upbeat, funky music with the game's playful style.
Nintendo has added nine tracks from the new game to its Nintendo Music app, where players can listen to soundtracks from Nintendo games. This "special release" makes some of the game's music available to listeners independently of the game, allowing fans to experience the soundtrack on its own.
The complete soundtrack for Splatoon Raiders may take longer to arrive on the app, as full releases for other Nintendo games have sometimes taken up to a year. The nine tracks released so far offer a preview of the game's overall musical direction and showcase the different artists who have contributed to the soundtrack.
